The couple of weeks of my internship have been great and I can\u2019t wait to see what else is in store. Our first day Espen and I both got a tour of where we would be working and given an idea of what we would be doing. I particularly enjoyed getting the full tour of the waste water treatment plant, I was quite amazed with the place.\u00a0We started our first assignment by getting to know GIS via the ESRI training assigned by Janelle. I found this training to be very informative and very useful. This being my first time truly using GIS I am glad to get to go through this type of training, plus I learned a lot of new material I \u00a0never even knew was possible with ArcGIS. This led in to my first actually assignment for the city. Janelle tasked me with updating the cities online map database with new features that were observed in the field. Some of these things included adding new storms water lines and new drainage and intakes that were not previously on the map. This assignment was very interesting and I found it nice to get to put our new skills learned from the training to work! The next task was filtering through old city blueprints from previous building projects and documenting it them so that I can catalog them in the coming weeks. So far I have really enjoyed my time intending with Delaware public utilities and have already learned a great deal and expect to learn a great deal more! Janelle has already done a great job showing me valuable skills such as using ArcGis and I know she plans to teach us more valuable skills like using GPS and other similar things. At the same time she has also done a great job exposing us to the ins and outs of her<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
